Thus, the cattle we raise for meat and dairy are sometimes called Bos taurus while the extinct wild form is always called Bos primigenius. Some time after the Spanish encounter with the Turkey, birds were brought back to Europe where they were raised and became an important source of food and fancy feathers. Which would be weird.

While other people might trade barbs or even turn to fisticuffs, I'd dig deep for the most hurtful thing I could say, in the fewest words, and deliver it without even raising my voice. This is great news for animal rights because it's one more piece of evidence that humans aren't as exceptional as we like to think we are.

It is not just a few outspoken animal rights fanatics who hold this view. Even the most ardent defenders of the morality of using animals for food and as “tools” in scientific experiments admit that premises (1) and (2) are true and acknowledge that (1) and (2) capture something central to our moral relationship to animals.

eBird states that “small white patch on throat is not obvious and difficult to see” And they use a photo that I submitted as main illustration, so they must be right.

The experience was marvelous — but it also weighed heavily on me.

Scientific research and expertise are needed here. The question can be raised: Why should these organisms be killed and others not be killed? KBJ: Nobody in the animal-rights or animal-liberation movement views intelligence as a morally significant property, at least intrinsically. KBJ: I agree that this is a factual question.

Researchers have also learned that the cancer-causing chemicals that form in beef as it cooks also tend to form in chicken. There is no need for infants to be raised on cow's milk formulas.
